  • 1.  Consolidating financial reporting software / FP&A

    Posted 08-07-2023 13:19

    Hi All.

    We have a Sage100 client that wants a more sophisticated program to handle consolidations, eliminations and currency conversion, than Sage100 with various add-ons and Sage intelligence or similar products (F9, etc.)

    We have a larger client who uses Adaptive insights, but I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a product that works with Sage100 ?

    Thank you very much

    Regards,

    Jeff Fiddelman

    I am working with a product called Mondial (www.mondialsoftware.com) that brings together data from any ERP system and provides FRx-like functionality in the cloud.   Define rows, columns and content and has filters, dimensions, etc. for more advanced reporting.   It also has foreign currency feeds and supports multi-book (IFRS and GaaP for example).   There is no Sage100 native connector (yet), but the company is keen on developing one to bring in the supporting AP and AR transactions for drill down detail as it has with other products.

    Let me know if you need more information or have any questions.

    I'm working on an upgrade with a customer ( medical ) who uses Centage.

    https://www.centage.com/products/planning-maestro/

    As is the case for many customers these days, they self-selected and implemented this and I don't have much feedback to share other than the product name. I believe they've been using it 5+ years so it seems to be working ( in some way ) for them.

    Also, test for budget ASAP. These next step reporting solutions tend to get pricy fast. I usually test by telling the customer that I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the solution started at $25,000 with an equally hefty ongoing subscription.

    A very large client of mine is implementing Centage for budgeting.  They wanted a browser-based solution for their department heads to access. The Implementation just started two weeks ago.  Will be interesting to see how it progresses.  They looked at SEI (Olivia Brown - obrown@nectari.com) for the solution but I was a bit late to the party.  Reach out to her.  The SEI product appears to be very robust.  I think Olivia demoed it last month for the Sage resellers.

    @Jeff Fiddelman - Any thoughts to share on your client using Adaptive Insights?  Ease of Use, pricing, robustness?  I have a small client wanting to go beyond Excel but I wonder if Adaptive is too big of a fire hose to drink from.  How sophisticated do the users need to be?

    Our client did adaptive on their own - we only provided DSN's.  So we don't really have any info to share.

    Sorry.
